Pink Thoughts

[hortysir]

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I was wondering if we could change the color of those of which we cannot speak of, temporarily.

Maybe if members could somehow show a donation for Breast Cancer to admin, they could "earn" Pink for the month?

Just the beginnings of a thought......anyone is welcome to chime in with any fine-tuning ideas

When will there be a "Prostate Cancer Month"?

When it comes to health care, men are second class citizens.

I realize that your cranium puts an undue strain on your prostate but do try to stay on topic

Start a new thread if you must play the victim, douchebag.

Being that the color pink is now copyrighted by the Komen monopoly, it's a wonder they haven't lawsuited the board as it is.

I Googled Breast cancer donations and came up with almost 7 million hits. I Googled Prostate cancer donations and came up with barely over 1 million.

The estimated number of deaths due to breast cancer in the US in 2013 is 39k. The estimated number of deaths due to prostate cancer is close to 30k.

Why the disparity in funding?

A fair question.

What are the key statistics about breast cancer?

What are the key statistics about prostate cancer?

When was the last time you saw a 25k charity run for prostate cancer? When was the last time you saw a celebrity advocate charitable causes for prostate cancer?

When was the last time you saw NFL athletes wearing powder blue accessories to support research for prostate deaths?

When was the last time you STFU and stopped trolling?

Is there a Prostate Awareness Month?

Maybe men need to suggest it, push it. Write your Congressman.

Breast and Prostate Cancer are similar - in that they're both pretty bad.

And the women busted their asses to make progress. The men ... haven't. Nothing is stopping Alfalfa from organizing those things he wants.

Men get breast cancer also, dumb shitz.

When you were speaking of pink moments, it wasn't the breast that popped up in my mind.

Really? You wouldn't be here if that was true. And I don't mean here on this forum, I mean here in life.

I wish there was "fat cancer." I want someone to remove my love handles.

Only at USMB can a thread trying to garner support for breast cancer be turned into a flaming troll thread

Prostate cancer isn't hip, politically correct or sexy enough.

Prostate cancer doesn't occur in the "dick". Are you this ignorant?

"Good" is not necessarily always the opposite of "pretty bad" - Not any type of cancer is good , but if one is going to get cancer, and could choose which one, most would choose skin cancer or thyroid, over brain, cervical, breast or prostate.
Some cancers are easier to treat, bet you didn't know that from your comment.

Thyroid cancer of the papillary variety. It's one of the slowest spreading and most easily cured cancers, with a survival rate around 95%. Treatment usually involves surgically removing the thyroid gland (or sometimes just the relevant lobe), and remaining thyroid tissue using a treatment called radioactive iodine. In the case of a complete thyroidectomy, one will be placed on thyroid hormone replacement treatment for the rest of their lives, but recurrance risk is significantly reduced. One should note that absolutely NO cancer should ever be considered "safe", and thyroid cancer is certainly not without risks. The thyroidectomy surgery can cause severing of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (a medical emergency), infection, thyroid storm,
